  Given a number of unsure messages and a desire to keep your training
  database small, the question naturally arises, "Which message should I add
! to my database next?".  A common approach might be to sort the unsures by
! their SpamBayes scores and train on the one which scores lowest.  That is a
  reasonable approach, but there is no guarantee the lowest scoring unsure is
  in any way related to the other unsure messages.
